Spacious Beachside Villa on 4 Private Acres
La Diosa is a perfect place for families and friends looking for an amazing place to relax and reconnect. Close to everything but a world away. The villa is the jewel of a 4-acre estate, set on a rise with panoramic views of the Caribbean sea. The villa has 4 bedrooms including 2 master suites with ensuite bath, a small beach, a boat house and dock, luxury furnishings, private pool, labyrinth and gardens, and incredible views on every level. We created this home to be a piece of paradise and a place you will never want to leave. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed so you will feel at home. Swim off La Diosa's private dock into the warm Caribbean waters or take our kayaks to snorkel Roatan’s amazing coral reefs. The Villa has panoramic views of the ocean and tropical gardens and a small beach.
Even though the villa is roomy and expansive, it can feel very intimate. There are many places for gatherings where your group can enjoy each other's company and there are spaces for quiet reflection. There is a large infinity pool, acres of gardens and paths, and a labyrinth made from the white quartz found on the property. If you love the ocean, you can swim and snorkel off La Diosa's private dock in Politilly Bight, or kayak and paddle board. The secret Politilly mangrove tunnels (across the Bight) are a trip back in time. If you are a diver, Subway Watersports provides Valet diving and snorkeling services and will pick you up off the dock to dive or snorkel at all the best places along the uncrowded North Shore reef. The diving here is spectacular – Subway’s divemasters are first rate and know the best spots on the reef. Deep sea and local fishing excursions are also available.
We have a caretaker on the property 24 hours per day. And while the villa is secluded and private, restaurants, shopping, and Roatan's many attractions are not far away. Our guests find the location perfect to explore Roatan's many attractions. If you love to cook, the fully equipped gourmet kitchen has a large island of slate and Honduran rosewood, an eating bar, two dining areas, and spectacular views of the Caribbean. The screened porch by the pool has a lounging area, a bar, and yoga and exercise equipment. It was very important to us to make La Diosa a 'green' home suitable for asthmatic and environmentally sensitive people. The home has tile and concrete construction, solar power and solar hot water, a saltwater and ultraviolet purification system in the infinity pool, and non-toxic, sophisticated energy-efficient construction. We NEVER use pesticides and we strictly forbid the use of fragranced detergents or fabric softener. La Diosa is a truly magical place....we are sure you will love it as much as we do!

Holiday vacation
This property is great to stay a bit away from the extreme holiday crowds in west bay and west end. We easily spent time at west end and west bay on the days we chose, but really enjoyed the local friendly vibes of the politily area, and ventured to camp bay for a quiet beach experience as well. We would definitely return to this vacation rental again.

Dear Keith,
It was lovely to have you and your family as our guests. We are so glad you enjoyed the villa's central location and found it so easy to explore the west side and the beautiful east end with its quiet, undiscovered white sand beaches. The Politilly area is very easy going and friendly, as you say - much different from the west end! We are looking forward to seeing you at La Diosa again when you return to this beautiful island.

Great stay
The property was just as pictured. Steven, the caretaker was so helpful. He would check on us regularly and helped guide us to any activities or places we needed. Liz the house manager was more than willing to answer any question we had. She also provided great information in the initial email that was of great help. Molly and Maya, the two dogs are the property where so sweet. We loved them and wanted to take them home. Overall a great place to stay. Beautiful island. Highly recommend.

Family time
We enjoyed the property and it was as advertised. The on-site caretaker, Steve, was great. We never saw the property manager the entire trip. The property can use some improvements. The beds are very uncomfortable. The kitchen stove is very poor. Burners and oven are either high or low. Nothing in between.

Dear William,
We are very happy that you and your family enjoyed this beautiful property. We are pleased that our caretaker Steven was great and was so attentive to all your needs.
Thank you for your feedback about things we can do better. When we learned in late December the stove was being quirky we immediately purchased a replacement. I am very sorry that it had not arrived by the time of your visit. As to the beds, we apologize that they did not meet your expectations. Even though the mattresses are quite new, I immediately asked our property manager to report to me on the situation. She told me she had never received a prior complaint - in fact, people often comment that they find the beds very comfortable. It may be that this is a matter of taste, but rest assured we will be monitoring this situation carefully and will respond immediately whenever a guest notifies us. Please know that we have ordered mattress toppers for those who prefer a softer feel if that were the issue.
Thank you for being our guests and for your helpful comments.

Wonderful Location and Fantastic Views
The layout provided a lot of space for gatherings as well as privacy. The views were breath-taking. It was a challenge to get my camera in time to catch the humming birds that would come every day. We ate out a few times and really enjoyed Cal's. The caretaker, Elias, got us some coconuts that we chilled and drank during the warm afternoons. He also helped us with some fish and lobster that made for great dinners. We spent most of our time around the pool or snorkeling off the reef. Look real close and you can also see an iguana from the pool.
So relaxing!

Too many good things to say in a short summary! Loved all the little details that came with. Steven and Liz are absolutely the best! I couldn’t believe how any question or any need was attended to so fast - prior to the trip and during. Do hire Rosa to cook a meal for you - you won’t be disappointed. The house was amazing and location unbelievable, Only negative is wonderful Mother Nature that no one can control. Now we have to go back and so looking forward to it. THANKS!!!!! The Johnson Family

Spring Break 2023
Our group of 6 loved the property. Really was perfect for our group. From the time we arrived to Rosa cooking dinner and cold beers waiting for us to the last night we had a great time. Steven was right there for anything that came up. We dove every day, getting picked up from the Dock by Dive Pangea. Pool was so refreshing when getting back from our dives. We prepared just about all our meals in the very well stocked and spacious kitchen. Bedrooms were very comfortable and quiet. With the breeze coming off the ocean, and we spent nearly all our time on the 2nd floor veranda where we ate our meals, played cards, and chatted about everything and nothing. Wonderful vacation and we would not hesitate returning.

Amazing!
We had an amazing time staying at La Diosa. The house is beautiful, true to the photos, and perfect for our two families with two master bedrooms and two other rooms for the kids. We ended up using available aerobeds for one of the kids since it was a little warm to share the bed for the teens and we were being frugal with the AC. We were happy we rented a car since it seems it would have been hard to get around without one, but I loved being on the less touristy side of the island and nothing was a very far drive. Liz, the property manager, met us at the airport and was available to answer any questions. And Clay(and Debra) who live on the property checked in daily and had lots of info to share-he helped us set up the best day of snorkeling and island hopping with someone he knew from a nearby town. Wifi went out one night after a thunderstorm and was out on the island(it seemed) and was generally slow in the hours we were all trying to use it(we did have 4 teenagers in our group.) Overall it was a lovely stay- I would definitely recommend!

The perfect wellness retreat!
We spent a week at La Diosa and loved it! The house was fantastic. We enjoyed the location not being near the cruise ship crowds. It made us feel like locals and allowed us to get a feel of what Roatan is really like. The home is beautifully laid out and provided total privacy. The view overlooking the infinity pool to the ocean was stunning. The house, pool, and yard were all meticulously kept which added to our enjoyment.
Communication with the property manager Liz was effortless and she was always quick to respond during booking. Rosa cooked us a delicious meal on our first night. We highly recommend this if you have the option.
The house caretaker, Steven, was awesome and a joy to hang out with. He showed us around several parts of the island, took us to see the Garifuna drumming that I was really looking forward to doing, and arranged all our daily excursions (snorkeling. fishing, sightseeing, and beach recommendations). When our trip was coming to an end, he even arranged and escorted us to get our covid tests completed before our departure. He made our experience exceptional!
We definitely recommend La Diosa when visiting Roatan and will be returning with all our friends!

Beautiful property!
We spent 7 nights at La Diosa during our recent family vacation to Roatan.
Liz, the property manager, met us at the airport just after our plane landed. From there, we followed her to Snappers, the local fish market, where we picked up some nice fish for dinner and then to Eldon's for a weeks supply of groceries, beer & wine. After loading up our vehicles, we then made our way to the villa.
Liz gave us a quick tour of the villa, answered our questions and introduced us to Austin who looks after the property. Liz was great and attended to all our needs during our stay. We also had Rosa cook a couple of island meals for us and we thoroughly enjoyed her cooking.
La Diosa is located on a hill which provides spectacular views of both the property and the Caribbean Sea. It is also quite secluded and peaceful, away from the hustle & bustle from where the cruise ships come in.
The villa is very spacious and clean, with more than enough room for 4 adults and 4 teenagers. The kitchen is well equipped and the villa itself is very comfortable. We ate our breakfasts and lunches on the second floor balcony while enjoying the spectacular views.
The teenagers spent a lot of time in the pool as well as exploring the beach and bay in the sea kayaks.
As we were warned, the mosquitos do come out at dusk and the sand fleas are quite active at the beach if you don't apply bug spray.
Our only complaint is that the property has a northern exposure and at this time of year only the pool gets sun during the day, leaving the pool area and loungers in the shade.
Roatan is a beautiful island and La Diosa is a beautiful property. We would definitely consider returning La Diosa at some point in time and would highly recommend it!

Missing it already!
Everything went as planned, good communication with the Property Manager and the Caretaker. Liz was super quick to respond to all the questions we had. The house is as beautiful as the pictures show. We walked 3-5 miles a day and never had any issues. Steven, the caretaker, was there whenever we needed him and he helped us book a ride to La Serena and a boat ride to and from town. He also got the kayaks out for us. He often joined us on our outings. The location is quite a way from the main tourist areas, which is what we wanted. You can snorkel in front of the house, but there is a lot of seagrass, so we opted to take the kayaks out and tie up to the bouy. We were a bit dissapointed in the snorkeling and didn't see much. But dive boats showed up everday, so we may have just picked a bad bouy. We were also able to kayake though some nearby Mangroves. A couple things that everyone should be aware of. You will hear dogs barking throughout the night. Everyone is the area has a dog and they alert you whenever anyone is walking down the street. We had 2 house dogs that we just loved. They were very sweet and snuggly, and they made us feel safe. Steven locks the gate everynight as well. You will also hear Roosters. This is pretty common on any island, be prepared with ear plugs or use the white noise app on your phone and you will be fine. One other thing to note is the only the master bedrooms have a shower. The other 2 bedrooms have access to a small bathroom-one on each floor, so they had to shower in the masters. We were a close group of friends so this was not a problem for us, but it's good to know. The pool, property, views and house were all amazing. We will definitely go back!

Beautiful views and outdoor living
The villa has the most amazing views of the Caribbean, great outdoor living and the sunsets are stunning. The gardens are nicely kept and provide privacy but don’t impede the view. The pool was very relaxing to hang out in with floats to just chill and look out at the ocean. There are plenty of cushioned lounge chairs along the pool deck, under the patio for shade as well as on the upper patio.
We enjoyed using the 2 person kayaks as well as the single kayaks. Very peaceful and serene. The water is not that inviting at the beach area unless you don’t mind all the sea grass. But you’d want to kayak out to the reef for snorkeling anyways. Also to note the beach and dock area are across the road from the villa and down two flights of stairs.
In regards to the indoor spaces keep in mind each room is a separate room that each lead to the outdoor living areas whether it’s on the lower or upper level. Meaning there are no interior doors. So you walk outside to get to each room with the exception of the 2 master bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. This was really only inconvenient for the two lower bedrooms as you had to go outside to get to the 1/2 bath which is not air conditioned.
Steven (caretaker) was just awesome. He was very helpful and friendly. Rosa (cook) was exceptional. We had a couple delicious meals including fresh fish from a fisherman. Liz the property manager was very informative and available before and during our trip. You are well taken care of with all the staff.
It was also nice to have the property all fenced in and the gate closed and locked at night with the outside layout of the house. Steven lives right outside the gate as well.
Overall the villa & outdoor living is beautiful and very welcoming. The owners took care in providing comfortable beds, plenty of towels, a well appointed kitchen, comfy couch, cushioned outdoor chairs and basic amenities. Everything was well cared for.
Thanks for sharing you home away from home!

La Diosa
I would highly recommend La Diosa for a relaxing, off the beaten path holiday. The house is located in a small village on the north eastern side of the island and is perfect for a family or couple vacation. We felt safe and cared for by Steven, the caretaker who lives on the property with his wife and son in a casita at the entrance to the driveway. He was always around to answer any of our questions and help us out when we needed him. Thanks for the kayaking in the mangroves. He was very accommodating to any of our needs and went above and beyond for us when my sister in law had an unfortunate fall and broke her arm. She missed a step going down the stairs on her first day there and ended up requiring surgery. She would be the first to admit it was her own clumsiness as she is accident prone. Steven went with us to the clinic and was a very huge accet to us with the language barrier. He helped us arrange the surgery with the orthopedic surgeon and stayed with us several long days as she recovered and was sent home.
We were also very grateful to Liz the property manager who sent us to the right clinic and worked with us throughout this misfortune. Thank you Liz. We also couldn’t believe how fast a surgery was performed and how quickly professional health care was provided. I can’t imagine she would have received that fast of care at home.
The house itself is very well equipped with anything you could ever need for a holiday away from home. The large pool is lovely and is beautiful at night with the lights and the stars above. There are lots of pool floats and a very large lounge area by the pool with many sun beds and chairs.
We had a car and we’re able to explore every part of the island from our location. It was especially nice to see a lot of the eastern half of the island that is often unexplored by visitors.
There are many great restaurants and villages close by in the area and I would recommend having a car to see them.
Nothing is very far to get to on the island and we toured a lot in our three week stay.
Thank you for such a wonderful holiday. Everything was easy right from the beginning of the booking to our departure. Roatan is a beautiful island and its people will capture your heart. I hope to return soon and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend La Diosa. It is a special place.
Thanks again Steven and Liz.

Beautiful Home
We really liked out stay at La Diosa del Sol. Our fishing guide said it perfectly. The West side is for tourists and the East side is for travelers. It’s not that they are that far apart, it was a little over an hour to get to the West Bay, but just much more laid back and relaxing. Not the crowds the West End has, especially on Cruise days. That being said, here is what we liked and didn’t like during our stay. Note, we were a group of 7 adults, my wife and I, our 3 kids and 2 significant others.
The house and pool are phenomenal. Some said in an earlier review that just know that the house is a bunch of rooms and to get from room to room there are outdoor hallways. Everything is covered, just picture a normal house, but you take out the outside walls that would connect the rooms. Not a bad thing, we really liked it. It made it feel more tropical and unique. The kitchen is amazing and spacious.
The view are incredible. Beautiful sunsets every night.
You must have Rosa cook for you. Truly one of the highlights of the trip. She shops, cooks and cleans up. And there are plenty of leftovers, so plan the dinner early in trip.
Location was perfect for us. Everything we wanted to do was nor more than 30 minutes, except when we went to West Bay. A fifteen minute drive to fish with Captain Buck. Grocery store 25 minutes away. Restaurants close. Turquoise Bay beach 15 minutes. Punta Gorda maybe 10 minutes.
Now, one of the surprises for us were the dogs. It did say in the contract that there were dogs on the property but were not allowed in the house area. However, we constantly had to tell them to go. We love dogs, (have 2) but on vacation we really were not expecting to deal with pets.
The beach is not really close or really a beach. You have to walk down the driveway and then down the dirt road for about 100 feet to a gate that is open. There are steep stairs down the water. Anyone could walk down there (though there are not a lot of people around). A lot of trash behind the boathouse. There really is not a place to hang out down there (plus you would have to bring down anything to sit on). Mostly shady with all the trees and seaweed/kelp for the first 30 feet or so out in the water. The dock is really nice, and you can sit out there. But really disappointed that we were not able to hang out down there.
Overall, we really liked La Diosa del Sol. Doing 4 stars primarily because of the beach and dogs. Everything else was exceptional.

Dear Tom,
Thank you for your kind and detailed review of La Diosa. We are really delighted that you enjoyed your stay - we are thrilled that you found the house "phenomenal"! - and that you loved our spacious kitchen, the beautiful views, and the incredible sunsets. I agree that the house is special, unique and tropical. And we agree, it really is in a perfect location - close to things, but out of the tourist traffic on the west end of the island.
We take our guests’ experience very seriously and have heard what you have said and have immediately taken steps to address the items you mentioned. I apologize that Molly and Maya, our two rescue pooches, were an issue for you. Despite our best efforts to train them to stay off the deck, and putting special collars on them, some of our prior guests love them so much they let them onto the deck, which the pooches find very confusing. Please let us know the next time you are here and we will make sure that does not happen. We are working on a simple solution right now that will keep them permanently off the deck.
You are correct that we have left the mature, natural trees on our portion of the beach area to continue providing natural shade. We do have beach chairs and hammocks in the boathouse for use by our guests on the beach, which our caretaker will set out for you at your request. It’s a good point to remind people of that - thank you for bringing it to our attention. These items are stored in the boathouse for safe keeping. I apologize for the seaweed and kelp, it comes and goes with the storms and the tides, and will hit most island beaches simultaneously. As the shoreline of Honduras is owned by the country of Honduras, it is available for use by all, as is every beach in Roatan. The trash situation is unacceptable. We have let Steven know that it has to be cleaned up every day. No exceptions.
I do respectfully disagree, though, about our stairs, which I found puzzling. No one has previously described our stairs as steep, including our many guests in their 70s and 80s. The staircase was designed and built to US standards of runner width and depth to assure safety and ease of use, with two large landings for easy access. But just for clarification, I will add a picture of the stairs to the listing so people can see exactly what they look like. A good suggestion.
Thank you for your honesty, your helpful comments, and your love of La Diosa. We were delighted to have you as our guests and look forward to seeing you again.

Lovely house in quiet out of the way location
We really enjoyed our stay at La Diosa del Sol. The house was very unique in that each space was separate...bedrooms each separate from the kitchen/living room. The pool was great and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals in.
We really enjoyed the quiet peaceful location and being away from the busy areas, however it was quite a drive to get to a restaurant and grocery store and at night there are very few road lights making it extremely dark.
The house manager Liz answered all questions very quickly and Steven the caretaker was very nice and always available to help with anything that we wanted. When we return to Roatan we would love to stay at La Diosa del Sol again.

Perfect spot for relaxation!
This was our family's first visit to Roatan. There are only 4 of us - so we knew this was more house than we needed but La Diosa Del Sol was the absolute perfect spot for rest and relaxation! The home is so beautiful and well kept, the grounds are beautiful and the pool and outdoor areas are just perfect! From the time of booking, communication with the owner and property manager was wonderful. And then during our stay, our caretaker was absolutely TOP NOTCH! The 2 resident pets made our stay even more enjoyable - what great personalities these 2 have - we were in love with them! I cannot say enough good things about this property and people of Roatan. We felt safe at all times and look forward to visiting again soon!

Superb stay
The staff at this VRBO goes above and beyond every day. Steven was very attentive as our caretaker he guided us through snorkeling and the kayaking thru the mangroves. Rosa cooked for us for breakfast and one dinner , the food was outstanding we cannot wait to go back

Great view, pool, and east-side gateway
Very comfortable, with everything as explained in description. If you want to enjoy the beautiful and laid-back east side of the island, this is an excellent location. Great common area for your group. Notice that there are only two showers, within two bedrooms. We found it easy to work with, but don't be surprised. Stock up on groceries, as there's not one nearby. All-in-all a very nice place, and the property managers were very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful home.
House was comfortable and pool was great. Steven was always available to fix any problems. The house was off the main road so not much traffic. Rain took out a couple days, but that is what it is. Would suggest a 4 wheel drive and go east to Old Port Royal. It’s an interesting drive and La Serinda is a good stop for lunch. Only problem was the internet didn’t work very well. But a great place to stay away from the west side.

Great Vacation Spot
We enjoyed the location on the island of the house. House was clean and well stocked. Could use ac in the main living room but a great breeze was present all the time. Caretaker and Liz as well as owner were always available to assist with questions or recommendations or to assist with needs. We would return to this house again.

great stay at La Diosa!
The poperty is beautiful with a great view of the reef and ocean in two directions. The house is extremely comfortable and painted in vibrant island colors, huge kitchen that is well appointed (impt as we cooked for ourselves) next to a comfortable dining and living room. The grounds are also beautifully maintained with lots of things in flower, and the pool was a great way to cool off.

Amazing Family Getaway
Our family of 7 adults and 1 baby rented this home Dec. 24, 2019 through Jan 1 2020. We chose this home for its outdoor living spaces and distance away from the cruise ships and busy west end. What a great choice. Home was beautiful. Kitchen well appointed with great flow. Bedrooms were separated which allowed for quiet time, if one needed it, all in a beautiful setting close to the beach. We used the kayaks and paddle board almost every day. As wonderful as the house is the staff really made the difference. Liz met us at the airport and helped us find some of our kids that flew in a couple of days earlier, then took us grocery shopping, all the while being incredibly patient. Joel the caretaker was wonderful. He cleaned the pool every morning, took us anywhere we asked, found fresh fish for us, gave us advice, made sure we had everything we needed all with a smile. He is there as much or as little as you want. He lives on the property with two very friendly dogs named Lucky and Molly, so he is there if you need him but he is well aware you may want privacy. The dogs are very friendly family dogs. We definitely recommend stay at La Diosa del Sol

Roatan getaway
My husband and I spent 10 amazing days at La Diosa Del Sol. It exceeded our expectations. The grounds were beautiful, the views were spectacular, and the house had everything we needed and more. The owner, Adrienne, was very easy to communicate with. Liz, the property manager, picked us up, took us shopping, and gave us lots of suggestions on the island. The caretaker, Clay, was checking on us every day and made sure the pool was always sparkling. We really appreciated all the personal touches done for us. There were fresh flowers throughout the house when we arrived, there was a huge basket of fruit waiting for us, and Adrienne was so kind to gift my husband and I an anniversary dinner with Rosa, the fabulous cook. We honestly felt very spoiled. We enjoyed scuba diving with the nearby diving company. They actually picked us up at La Diosa's private dock every time. Our stay couldn't have been any better. We would certainly recommend this home to all our friends and family.

Pros and Cons
Pros: I was amazed that the house was practically insect free. I only saw one small spider (under my pillow) and of course the normal kitchen ants. The bath and pool towels were plentiful and of high quality. The pool is beautiful (except missing tiles), large, very warm and has some great pool loungers. The view from the house can’t be beat. WOW! It is gorgeous. It was very nice having the kayaks. We took the double kayak out every morning. Jorge the caretaker was always willing to assist with the kayaks. The kitchen was well equipped and it was wonderful having a washer and dryer available.
Cons: Getting into bed I noticed that the sheets had sand in them. I alerted the property manager who dismissed my concern and did not offer clean sheets or assistance. Then we noticed that the bathroom counters were covered in sand/grit. All I had to do was wipe my hand across the counter and my hand was filthy. The bathroom sinks and mirrors looked like they had not been cleaned in a long time. There was even toothpaste left from previous guests stuck to the sinks. The living room couch was also covered in sand/grit and we had to place towels on the cushions to be able to sit on it. The DVD player did not work and the wifi was unreliable. The pool light did not work and my husband stepped on a metal object in the bottom of the pool that stuck in his big toe. There were dogs that roam the property and jumped on us when we got out of the car every day. Once my husband was asleep on the hammock and a dog jumped up on him. I wanted to swim from the nice beach area, but there was garbage laying in the sand in the water and it did not look inviting. The area around the house does not provide peace and quiet. Some construction was occurring nearby and all day long we heard saws, hammers and generators. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday there is LOUD music from noon until 2:00 AM coming from some area close by. The only way to block it out while sleeping is to keep all doors and windows closed and run the air conditioner. Jorge the caretaker was quite intrusive. He would appear without warning at the pool area while we were laying out or swimming. He even entered the house one morning without knocking. It was unnerving wondering when he was going to show up and if we were going to have privacy or not. I would have been nice to have been left alone. I think this would be a wonderful rental with improvements in the property manager’s and caretaker ‘s roles.

Dear Ms. H,
We very much appreciate your sharing your views with us about La Diosa. We love that you enjoyed our gourmet kitchen, our plush beach and bath towels, our ocean kayaks, the spectacular views, and the beautiful infinity pool looking over the Caribbean. We are glad you found the property virtually insect free – we do work very hard to make sure everything is raked every day and carefully attended to.
Just as much, as I have expressed personally to you, we appreciate your bringing to our attention some matters that needed attending to, and we want to assure you they are as much concern to us as they were to you. Although we have never had an issue with the condition of the bedrooms in the past 10 years, we have instituted changes as a result of your comments. Our property manager now makes an even more meticulous and thorough inspection of the cleanliness of the house prior to a guest’s arrival, including using a flashlight to detect any missed items, and our caretaker now makes twice daily inspections of the beach area to pick up any debris that may have appeared. We now ask our property manager to establish with our guests how much or little interaction would be satisfactory with our caretaker, and we remind guests to please close windows when they are out and about because the tropical rainstorms that can suddenly appear otherwise require the caretaker coming and closing the windows. We appreciate your letting us know that the pool light was out, and learning that the new DVD player had failed - we now stock an extra one. We now also encourage our guests to let us know at the time if anything goes amiss so we can attend to it immediately. I am sorry that there was construction on a property down the road during your stay. There is sometimes music on weekends that can carry over from Punta Gorda, 2 miles away, and we now alert guests to that fact. These helpful and honest comments have motivated us to make La Diosa even better and we have taken specific steps to address your concerns. We enjoyed having your family as our guests and would be delighted to have you again on your next trip to beautiful Roatan.

Tout simplement exceptionnel (Simply Exceptional!)
With our 4 children, we came from France to visit Roatan. La Diosa was THE place to stay and we had a marvelous time there : the house and the garden are really wonderful, well equiped, with everything you might dream. The beach is near, and with the kayacks, you're able to snorkel on the beautiful reef in a few moments. Humming birds can be seen while you're taking your shower in the open air. The view is breathtaking.
Beeing located on the east part of Roatan is really an advantage : this part of the island is more authentic, but in less than an hour you can access, if you want, the more touristical places in the island. Not far from the house, beautiful beaches, wonderful dives with "subway water sport" that pick you up right from the dock at La Diosa. Punta Gorda with its Garifuna joyful feats and dances is very near...
And what made our stay really remarkable was the presence of Jorge. He is perfect in his role as caretaker : helpul, efficient, hardworker, always available but never intrusive. And we found he goes far beyond his duty, in the good sense : friendly, giving good advices, taking care of our security in every aspect, always ready to talk about Honduras and Roatan, showing our kids how to cook a traditional recipe. After a few days, though he was always discrete, we had the impression of being at home with a friend nearby.
Jorge is really precious and added greatly to the quality of our stay in La Diosa…
The best summary comes from our kids "when do we come back ?". And though it's very far from France, no doubt we also dream of it!
PS : if you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle, don't hesitate to go far east, on the dirt road, to "La Sirena" restaurant : the view and the beach are amazing, and you've got the feeling of being at the edge of the world. Their fishes are delicious.

We are so delighted that your family had a wonderful time at La Diosa. How wonderful that you enjoyed the many hidden treasures of the island while you were here and explored the Island's east end with its special rhythms of life. We were so happy to have you and please think of La Diosa as your home on Roatan.
Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Adrienne Larkin
We are a professional couple living in the San Francisco Bay Area. We created La Diosa as a special place of beauty, fun, and relaxation. Even after staying at La Diosa so many times, we still love to be here and hate to leave. We know you will feel that way too.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
After traveling throughout the Caribbean looking for a place to call our own, we came upon Roatan and fell in love with it - its natural beauty, its people, the wonderful 'something special' about it.... We looked at dozens of houses and places on Roatan until we came across this 4 acre property. The breezes were wonderful even on a hot day, the views went on forever, and even though it had been neglected we could see ourselves building a special place there, among the trees, honoring the earth, a place of peace and serenity. But fun too!
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
When we come to La Diosa, time melts away. We get up with the sun and kayak in the early morning, take a swim, saying hello to the fish around the reef -- then come back to the gardens, lounge around the pool, read, write in the tower, snooze in the hammock, go horseback riding, explore, walk the labryinth, whip up a meal in the huge kitchen or just take a walk among the trees. What could be better? What a blessing.
